I am looking at the website and it says you can purchase entry for $6, but if you show up after the start of the last race it is $20 to get into the concert. You can buy the $6 tickets in advance, but what happens if you buy the $6 ticket and show up after the start of the last race? What was it like last year?

Re: San Diego Shows

Races start at 4 if I remember correctly, and the bands usually play at 7pm. I'm not 100 percent sure because me and my friends used to show up early and bet on horses and get drunk. We would always lose track of time, and went with the flow. Watching the races is actually fun.

I emailed Chris Bahr (Director of Events/Promotions for the Del Mar Race Track) and this was his reply:
"For the time being, we have withdrawn their name due to promotional conflicts. However, we still expect them to perform on Aug. 23."

Hmm ... maybe I'll ask him who the other special guest is the following week.

Re: San Diego Shows

Looks like the YYY gig is falling apart.
I emailed him again late this afternoon about the Special Guest for Aug 30:
"FYI- We are now unsure if Yeah Yeah Yeahs will play… The dates of August 23 and 30
are open with the possibility of Yeah Yeah Yeahs either day"

Sounds like they don't have a firm commitment from the YYYs. I think their FYF gig is still a go.

Re: San Diego Shows

I'll be in town from Aug 15th-18th, and I see there is something called Indiefest taking place at Liberty Station. It says Talib Kweli, Cake, and Best Coast are headlining, but the website is pretty much useless for info. Does anyone know more about this event? What does it cost to get in, etc?

Re: San Diego Shows

I bought a ticket for that show when it was originally scheduled for earlier in the year, like February. Then when it was postponed I held onto my ticket, then somehow forgot all about the show and didn't remember until a month afterward. So I had a ticket and didn't go. I was so bummed.
